Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image processing device preventing the effect of noise from restricting the processing range of the super resolution process. The image processing device classifies each of a plurality of pieces of input pixel data that represent the input image into high-frequency region data or non-high-frequency region data, and generates, as at least part of output pixel data that represents the output image, one or more pieces of output pixel data in correspondence with one or more pieces of input pixel data classified as the high-frequency region data, by using the super resolution process data in accordance with amounts of noise of the one or more pieces of input pixel data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An image processing device for generating an output image by performing an image process on an input image, the image processing device comprising: a super resolution processing unit configured to generate super resolution process data by performing a super resolution process on a plurality of pieces of input pixel data that represent the input image; a region determining unit configured to classify each of the plurality of pieces of input pixel data…
